but you know what the biggest stumbling block would be?sports.your football,our soccer,will never be much more than a womens college sport here.



The USA hasn't always been the way it is now. The Louisiana purchase doubled it's size. Alaska and Hawaii extended the nation considerably. If Puerto Rico voted for it, it would be the 51st State of the Union. As it is they are a protectorate I believe, but the provision is there.

I agree with Milamber about the 'new country' statement. Hence the name ANGLICA has a nice ring to it don't you think?
